Your ace, we need more people in van live and build vids with your mentality, progress not perfection! Lots of peeps are out to out do each other, your comment ‘it’s better then an air maxx fan, screw every body else’s has me in stitches! I’ve done the same as you! Keep rocking it. Dude
I wanna go man I’m from college station Texas known around the world because of Texas A and M University I love it here but the rich history of the north is something I’ve never experienced and want to so bad anywhere up the northern east coast!
Thanks for sharing. How tall are you? when standing in the van how far over the metal roof would you say your head sticks out? I have a small van I converted to a micro camper and I just have a holes in my roof with the metal bent up and solar panel keeps water out while allowing air flow. For a future van I like the idea of a cargo van with no windows but light and air coming from a roof hatch I can stand up and look out through.
Thank you for this! I want to experiment with different tech like CNC for the carving stage of my own prints and this was helpful to see how that looks compared to hand carved lino
you could have used masking tape to not make a mess on the caulk bead. You definitely should fill the screw holes. maybe use aluminum strips instead of steel if you're worried about rusting.
The part of the earthship you're staying in isn't supposed to be a livable room. That's the greenhouse. The livable rooms are supposed to behind, encased in the dirt/tire mix.
In the world of subscription based revenue,bokashi is just one of those scams. I researched bokashi and tried my own tests and what i found was two significant results. Whatever salt you put in will not breakdown or transform in any way, but it will concentrate, and salt is toxic to most plants. I read a study on em1 in garden soil and found out it was not benificial in the breakdown of soils or liquids but is benificial to animals like worms or chickens gut flora. The most interesting thing i found is, just using layers of garden dirt from spent plants, instead of em1, produced way more white mold in far less time. The bokashi still fermented then composted the same. My next study will be using fermented bokashi between woodchips to produce mushrooms and aerobic composting. Using bokashi leachate and unfermented urine as a complete hydroponic feed, as bokashi leachate (liquid) is low in nitrogen and fresh unfermented urine is high, the left over bokashi solids are high in nitrogen so the results of burying the solids alone will produce green leaves but not as much flowers or fruit as a more complete food, wormcastings and waste probably offsets this for some. Bokashi solids as the nitrogen source in compost will give a more even result in leafmold or woodchips.
I started my bucket but work got too heavy and I kept getting sick. I didn't manage to fill the bucket all the way (2/3s) and it's been sitting in the garage since July. Trying to steel myself to open the bucket and bury the contents. The plants loved the bokashi liquid in their water.
Sucks having a wind mill attached to your home in a storm don't it ?did that for 6 yrs haha sounds like the house is taking off for Trans Atlantic flight.
I am looking to buy a brand new Transit Connect and turn it into a part time camper. Have you had any problems with your van? I have heard that these vans can have transmission issues but I think it might be the older generation of the Connect that had the problem. Anyway would be interested to hear what mechanical problems you have had with your vehicle.
How do you like your van? I am thinking about getting a 2023 connect and am wondering how well it holds up. Do you have the standard engine or the 2.5 liter model? Also I have read that these vans have transmission problems but I am not sure if this with the previous generation or the newer models. Have you had any transmission issues?
You're a real man dude sleeping in that tent while building and redoing. My hats off to you I wish I still had the capabilities of physical ability. Being disabled and on a fixed income 400% below poverty. This is the only way I see out to live and have a life again. Sadly someone will have to build mine. But after 12 long years of fighting finally they made a decision in my favor. I just want to live in peace away from any city or city people. I just want to die in peace. I wish you the very best and may god over see you and your journey. This gives me hope again thank u.
